Wu Yanyi listened, looked at the map and thought for a while, and then asked the opinions of the rest of the people, and everyone felt that it was basically feasible.

So he ordered: "General Yang's suggestion is excellent, so do it." I was with General Yang as the front, and General Li and General Zhang as the rear.

The location of this ambush is in the dangerous place between Wuhui and Yizhou, striving to completely annihilate the rebellion. When the time comes, we will first check the terrain in the front, and after selecting the place, we will send someone to inform General Li.

Judge Qi traveled with General Gao to confuse the enemy. The troops of Dai Wei in the north must be silent, march quietly, and be as hidden as possible. ”

Subsequently, the troops were classified and transferred. Yao Kuan smiled and said: "Judge Qi, you don't have the opportunity to follow the king of Donglai to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"What's the solution? Maybe you've become a general, but you're still a six-pin! Qi Xuan smiled slightly.

In fact, he was not worried at all, and let him follow General Gao, which in itself proved that in the eyes of outsiders, his relationship with Wu Yan was extraordinary.

It seems that he is with the right person, and in just one year, Wu Yanzhi really became the king of the county and a high-ranking official of the third grade. However, he is a royal family, so the speed of promotion is naturally different.

I have now achieved six grades, which is already very good. The promotion of this civil official is different from that of a military attaché. Civil officials can be prime ministers from six or seven grades to a few years.

That Yufei looked at Yao Kuan and made fun of Qi Xuan, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "This Yao Kuan, what does he know?" What is the identity of Judge Qi? He is a civil official, and in the future, under the care of Marshal Wu, he will be a man and a waiter! What can my generals compare? I heard that Marshal Wu is already operating, let him serve as the imperial history in the palace! ”

Two days later, Wu Yanzhi, General Yang Siqiao, as well as the judge Zhang Shuo, the secretary Jiang Shipeng, etc., hurried to Xincheng.

At this time, Youzhou was not captured, and both Youzhou and Danzhou were held by the Great Zhou army. In particular, Zhang Jiujie, the defender of Danzhou and the deputy head of the former army of Qingbian Dao, was very good at using soldiers, recruited hundreds of warriors, stubbornly held Danzhou City, killed thousands of enemies, and severely damaged the enemy!

……

Along the way, secret reports came one after another, and Wu Yanzhi and others finally figured out the truth about the defeat of the Great Zhou army!

Before this, when the Khitan captured Yingzhou, they captured hundreds of Zhou soldiers and imprisoned them in prison.

Hearing that the Zhou army was coming, the Khitans asked a man who was guarding the prison to deceive them, saying: "Our family members are starving and cold and cannot survive, so we will surrender immediately when the official army arrives." Then the Khitans led them out of the dungeon, made them drink chaff porridge, and comforted them, saying, "If I feed you, I will have no food, and I can't bear to kill you, so let you go now." So he released them.

They returned to Youzhou and recounted the above situation, and when the Zhou army heard about it, they all rushed to march quickly.

When the Zhou army arrived at the Huangzhang Valley, the Khitans sent old and weak soldiers and civilians to surrender, deliberately discarding the old cattle and lean horses on the side of the road. Cao Renshi and the others left the infantry and led the cavalry forward.

The Khitans set up an ambush to attack from the flank, and used a zipline to trip Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie and capture them alive. The corpses of the generals littered the valley, and few escaped.

When the Khitans obtained the seal letter from the Zhou army, they forged documents for Zhang Xuanyu and others to sign, and informed the governors Yan Bandit Shi, Zong Huaichang and others, saying: "The officers and soldiers have broken the thieves, if you do not arrive in Yingzhou, the officers will be beheaded, and the soldiers will not be given medals." ”

Yan Bandit Shi and the others were notified, so they traveled day and night, and they couldn't even take care of eating and sleeping, and kept rushing forward, and the soldiers and horses were very tired; As a result, it was ambushed and intercepted by the Khitans in the middle of the way, and the entire army was annihilated.

This is the course of the entire campaign, and it can be seen from this campaign that Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong are by no means ordinary people.

This is a use of the method of "showing weakness and luring the enemy" commonly used in ancient times. This method takes advantage of people's psychology of being anxious to make meritorious contributions and not wanting to lose their fighters to lure the enemy into going deep and ambushing the enemy.

Wu Yanzhi, Yang Siqiao, Zhang Shuo and others repeatedly studied the enemy's tactics. One of their weaknesses was also discovered, that is, their own insufficient troops. did not dare to engage in a head-on decisive battle, which proved that Yang Siqiao's speculation was correct, and their real main force might only be twenty or thirty thousand people.

They usually lead the enemy into an ambush circle and then charge through the elite cavalry to kill and win. In this way, his 40,000 men were also equipped with 20 rifles, as well as some gunpowder, gasoline, kerosene, and so on. If the power is stronger than them, he passed on the situation to the following. These people got the news and were even more confident. Now that they are soldiers, who doesn't want to be rewarded for their meritorious service?

……

From Shengzhou to Xincheng, a total of 1,700 miles. After crossing the clouds and crossing the Heng Mountain to Ulzhou, it was soon 20 miles away from the Flying Fox.

Here I want to talk about the flying fox. The Flying Fox has always been a key pass between the North China Plain, the Shanxi Plateau and the Mongolian steppe, and it is also an important passage from inside the pass to the outside of the pass.

In ancient times, it was one of the eight places of Taihang Mountain that connected the Dai Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom!

Taihang Bacheng is the eight canyons that connect the east and west directions of the Taihang Mountain, the terrain is very dangerous, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

(Taihang Eight Mountains: Jundu Chen, Puyin Cheng, Flying Fox Cheng, Jingcheng Cheng, Fukou Cheng, Baicheng Cheng, Taihang Chen, Yiguan Cheng)

Flying Fox is also known as Beikouyu and Flying Fox Valley. It is known by the locals as the "Forty Mile Batu Caves". In fact, this is a 100-mile-long Grand Canyon, the canyon and the like are bleak and forested, and some places are still without the sun all year round. The cliffs on both sides of the valley are like knives and axes, and its majestic momentum is very beautiful.

"Report to the marshal, according to the report of the rangers, the Flying Fox Pass is still under the control of my Great Zhou, but Yizhou and Wuhui have been occupied by the rebels.

However, the main direction of attack of the rebels was to use cavalry to attack the major states of Hebei, and they were not yet capable of attacking in the Shanxi direction. Marching Sima Yang Siqiao came in to report.

"Okay, let's set up camp here and pass through the Flying Fox tomorrow morning." Wu Yanzhi ordered.

"Subordinates obey!" Yang Siqiao hurriedly went to arrange.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Yanzhi led 10,000 cavalry under his command and hurried through the Flying Fox.

It's really steep and abnormal! Wu Yanzhi walked in the valley and saw that the narrowest point was only two or three meters, and the cliffs on both sides were towering. This canyon is also too long, no wonder it is a battleground for soldiers!

If you want to conquer this pass, you have to pile up people's corpses before you can conquer it!

Walking quickly in the country, I walked for nearly two hours before I arrived at Flying Fox Pass.

There were only 500 soldiers guarding the guards, and when they heard Wu Yanzhi's arrival, the Guo Yi Lieutenant Shen Chongjun, who led the troops, hurried out of the customs to greet them.

"Subordinate Shen Chongjun greets Marshal Wu!" He stood aside.

"General Shen is exempt! Let's go, go in and talk. He asked Shen Chongjun to lead the way, and some people were able to enter.

"Marshal Wu may not know that the traitor Li Duanxuan has died of illness. At present, all the anti-thieves are led by the bandit leader Sun Wanqi! While walking, Shen Chongjun reported the situation. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
